Incantations

[DonQuixote]

Spellshape Incanter
Through your study of magic, you have learned to use the incantations associated with one of the arcane circles.
   Prerequisite: One level in a spellshaper class
   Benefit:  When you take this feat, choose a circle of formulae to which you have access. You gain the ability to use the incantations associated with that circle.  At first, you can only use the circle's least incantation once per day.  If your shaper level is 7th or higher, you can instead use the least incantation three times per day.  If your shaper level is 13th or higher, you can instead use the least incantation at will.
   When you reach shaper level 7th, you gain access to the circle's lesser incantation.  In order to use a lesser incantation, you must have at least 10 ranks in Spellcraft, and you must know at least two formulae from the incantation's circle.  At first, you can only use a lesser incantation once per day.  If your shaper level is 13th or higher, you can instead use the lesser incantation three times per day.
   When you reach shaper level 13th, you gain access to the circle's greater incantation.  In order to use a greater incantation, you must have at least 16 ranks in Spellcraft, and you must know at least four formulae from the incantation's circle.  You can use a greater incantation only once per day.
   Special: You can take this feat more than once.  Each time you take the feat, you gain the ability to use the incantations associated with a different circle of formulae to which you have access.


Incantations
Incantations are a set of basic powers that are associated with a circle of spellshaping.  Each circle has a set of three incantations associated with it, of three different levels: Least, Lesser, and Greater.  As a spellshaper grows in power, he learns to shape higher-level incantations and gains increasing mastery with incantations he already knows.
   All incantations are spell-like abilities with verbal components, but no somatic components.  Thus, an incantation can be shaped in armor without difficulty, but can only be shaped by a spellshaper who is able to speak in a strong voice.  A silence spell or a gag spoils the incantation.  A spellshaper who is deafened has a 20% chance to spoil any incantation that he or she tries to shape.
   An incantation is the equivalent of a spell whose level is equal to one-half the spellshaper's shaper level (round down), with a minimum level of 1st and a maximum of 9th.  A multiclass character who has different shaper levels for the purposes of each class shapes incantations at his or her highest shaper level derived from a class with which he or she has access to the incantation's circle.

Shaping Incantations
Unlike formulae, incantations are not expended and recovered.  Instead, incantations can only be shaped a certain number of times per day.  Each incantation can be shaped a certain number of times per day, depending on its level, and the shaping of one incantation does not affect the shaping of other incantations from its circle or the shaping of other incantations of its level.
   The number of times per day that a spellshaper can shape an incantation is determined by his shaper level.  In addition, shaping an incantation of lesser or greater level requires both a minimum number of formulae known from its circle and a minimum number of ranks in the Spellcraft skill.
   Once a spellshaper gains the ability to shape the incantations associated with a circle, his progression with those incantations proceeds naturally.  So long as he meets their prerequisites, he naturally learns a circle's higher-level incantations when he reaches the appropriate levels.
   Least: At 1st level, a spellshaper can shape a least incantation once per day.  If the spellshaper's shaper level is 7th or higher, he can instead shape the least incantation three times per day.  If his shaper level is 13th or higher, he can instead shape the least incantation at will.
   Lesser: In order to shape a lesser incantation, a spellshaper must know at least two formulae from the incantation's circle and have at least 10 ranks in Spellcraft.  At 7th level, a spellshaper can shape a lesser incantation once per day.  If the spellshaper's shaper level is 13th or higher, he can instead shape the lesser incantation three times per day.
   Greater: In order to shape a greater incantation, a spellshaper must know at least four formulae from the incantation's circle and have at least 16 ranks in Spellcraft.  At 13th level, a greater incantation can be shaped once per day.

Tethered Dimension
Astral Essence (Incantation)
Level: Least
Shaping Action: 1 standard action
Range: Touch
Target: One touched piece of rope from 5 ft. to 30 ft. long
Duration: 1 hour/level (D)
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No

When this incantation is shaped upon a piece of rope from 5 to 30 feet long, one end of the rope rises into the air until the whole rope hangs perpendicular to the ground, as if affixed at the upper end.  The upper end is, in fact, fastened to an extradimensional space that is outside the multiverse of extradimensional spaces ("planes").  Creatures in the extradimensional space are hidden, beyond the reach of spells (including divinations), unless those spells work across planes.  The space holds as many as eight creatures (of any size).  Creatures in the space can pull the rope up into the space, making the rope "disappear."  In that case, the rope counts as one of the eight creatures that can fit in the space.  The rope can support up to 16,000 pounds.  A weight greater than that can pull the rope free.
   Spells cannot be cast across the extradimensional interface, nor can area effects cross it.  Those in the extradimensional space can see out of it as if a 3-foot-by-5-foot window were centered on the rope.  The window is present on the Material Plane, but it's invisible, and even creatures that can see the window can't see through it.  Anything inside the extradimensional space drops out when the incantation ends.  The rope can be climbed by only one person at a time.  The Tethered Dimension incantation enables climbers to reach a normal place if they do not climb all the way to the extradimensional space.
   Note: It is hazardous to create an extradimensional space within an existing extradimensional space or to take an extradimensional space into an existing one.  The consequences of doing so can range from both extradimensional spaces collapsing, ejecting their contents harmlessly, to a feedback loop that completely destroys the contents of both spaces.




Dimensional Speech
Astral Essence (Incantation)
Level: Lesser
Shaping Action: 10 minutes
Range: See text
Target: One creature
Duration: 1 round; see text
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No

You contact a particular creature with you are familiar and send a short message of twenty-five words or less to the subject.  The subject recognizes you if it knows you.  It can answer in like manner immediately.  A creature with an intelligence score as low as 1 can understand the Dimensional Speech, though the subject's ability to react is limited as normal by its Intelligence score.  Even if the Dimensional Speech is received, the subject is not obligated to act upon it in any manner.
   If the creature in question is not on the same plane of existence as you are, there is a 5% chance that the Dimensional Speech does not arrive.  (Local conditions on other planes may worsen this chance considerably, at the option of the DM).




Dimensionwalking
Astral Essence (Incantation) [Teleportation]
Level: Greater
Shaping Action: 1 minute
Range: Touch
Target: Creature touched, or up to eight willing creatures joining hands
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Will negates
Spell Resistance: Yes

You move yourself or some other creature to another plane of existence or alternate dimension.  If several willing persons link hands in a circle, as many as eight can be affected by the Dimensionwalking incantation at the same time.  Precise accuracy as to a particular arrival location on the intended plane is nigh impossible.  You can reach any other plane, though you appear 5 to 500 miles (5d%) from your intended destination.
   Note: Dimensionwalking transports creatures instantaneously and then ends.  The creatures need to find other means if they are to travel back.

Command Air
Blustering Gale (Incantation) [Air]
Level: Least
Shaping Action: 1 standard action
Range: Long (400 ft. + 40 ft./level)
Area: 50-ft.-radius spread
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 min./level
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No

This incantation gives you some control over wind speed and direction.  The speed of the wind within the area of this incantation can be increased or decreased by up to 10 miles per hour.  For every five shaper levels you possess, you can modify the wind speed by an additional 10 miles per hour, to a maximum change in wind speed of 50 miles per hour.
   This incantation also gives you the ability to alter the direction of the wind by as much as 90 degrees (turning a north wind into an east wind, for instance).
   Powerful enough winds can cause creatures to be blown away, knocked down, or checked; see Table 3-24, page 95 of the Dungeon Master's Guide.
   Unless the DM determines the day to be particularly windy or calm, determine the initial wind speed when you first shape this incantation by rolling 1d20.  The result is the current wind speed in miles per hour.




Air Form
Blustering Gale (Incantation)
Level: Lesser
Shaping Action: 1 standard action
Range: Touch
Target: Willing corporeal creature touched
Duration: 2 min./level (D)
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No

The subject and all its gear become insubstantial, misty, and translucent.  It gains the fluid subtype (including the malleable form ability) and the gaseous special quality.  The subject's material armor (including natural armor) becomes worthless, though its size, Dexterity, deflection bonuses, and armor bonuses from force effects still apply.  It can't attack, shape formulae, or cast spells with verbal, somatic, material, or focus components while in air form.  The subject also loses supernatural abilities while in air form.  If the subject has a touch spell ready to use, the spell is discharged harmlessly when this incantation takes effect.
   A creature in air form can't run, but it can fly at a speed of 10 feet (maneuverability perfect).  As a fluid creature, it can pass through small holes or narrow openings, even mere cracks, with all it was wearing or holding in its hands, as long as the incantation persists.  The creature is also subject to the effects of wind, and it can't enter water or other liquid.  It also can't manipulate objects or activate items, even those carried along with its gaseous form.  Continuously active items remain active, though in some cases their effects may be moot.




Air Stride
Blustering Gale (Incantation) [Air]
Level: Greater
Shaping Action: 1 standard action
Range: Touch
Targets: You and one touched creature per three levels
Duration: 1 hour/level (D); see text
Saving Throw: None and Will negates (harmless)
Spell Resistance: No and Yes (harmless)

You alter the substance of your body to a cloudlike vapor (as the Air Form incantation) and move through the air, possibly at great speed.  You can take other creatures with you, each of which acts independently.
   Normally, an air strider flies at a speed of 10 feet with perfect maneuverability.  If desired by the subject, a magical wind wafts an air strider along at 600 feet per round (60 mph) with poor maneuverability.  Air striders are not invisible, but rather appear misty and translucent.  If fully clothed in white, they are 80% likely to be mistaken for clouds, fog, vapors, or the like.
   An air strider can regain its physical form as desired and later resume the cloud form.  Each change to and from vaporous form takes 5 rounds, which counts toward the duration of the incantation (as does any time spent in physical form).  As noted above, you can dismiss the incantation, and you can even dismiss it for individual air striders and not others.
   For the last minute of the incantation's duration, an air strider in cloud form automatically descends 60 feet per round (for a total of 600 feet), though it may descend faster if it wishes.  This descent serves as a warning that the incantation is about to end.

Control Illumination
Brilliant Dawn (Incantation) [Light]
Level: Least
Shaping Action: 1 standard action
Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level)
Area: Nine 10-ft. cubes + three 10-ft. cubes/level
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 min./level, or 1 round; see text
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No

By manipulating the ambient light level, you can decrease or increase the illumination of an area.  The change in illumination can be gradual (taking as long as 1 minute) or sudden (occurring immediately when you shape this incantation).  You can alter the level of illumination from its original level at any time during the incantation's duration.
   Decrease: You can decrease the illumination of an area by as little as 5% (barely perceptible) or as much as 100% (total darkness).  If you decrease the light by 50% or more, the visual ability of creatures that depend on light to see declines accordingly.  For instance, a human carrying a torch can see well out to 20 feet.  If you use Control Illumination to decrease the illumination around him by 75%, then the area he sees as brightly lit by the torch extends only out to 5 feet.
   If you decrease the ambient light in an area by 100%, even those with low-light vision are unable to see within the affected area.
   For each 25% decrease in ambient light, characters in the area gain a cumulative +1 circumstance bonus on Hide checks (to a maximum of +4 when all the light is gone).
   Increase: You can increase the illumination of an area by as little as 5% (barely perceptible) or as much as 100%.  If you increase the light by 50% or more, the visual ability of creatures that depend on light to see improves accordingly.  For instance, an elf carrying a sunrod can see well out to 60 feet (because of her low-light vision).  If you use Control Illumination to increase the illumination around her by 50%, then the area she sees as brightly lit by the sunrod extends out to 90 feet.
   You can use this incantation to increase the illumination of an area by 200% (improving visual abilities accordingly), but in such a case the incantation's duration is only 1 round.




Illuminate Soul
Brilliant Dawn (Incantation)
Level: Lesser
Shaping Action: 1 minute
Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Targets: Up to one creature per level, all within 30 ft. of each other
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: See text
Spell Resistance: No

This incantation frees victims from enchantments, transmutations, and curses.  Illuminate Soul can reverse even an instantaneous effect, such as flesh to stone.  For each effect to be removed, you make a shaper level check (1d20 + shaper level, maximum +15) against a DC of 11 + caster level of the effect.  Success means that the creature is free of the spell, curse, or effect.  For a cursed magic item, the DC is 25.
   If the spell or effect is one that cannot be dispelled by dispel magic, Illuminate Soul works only if that spell or effect has a level equal to or lower than 1/2 your shaper level (round down).  For instance, a bestow curse cast by a sorcerer or wizard cannot be dispelled by dispel magic, but a spellshaper of shaper level 8th or higher could dispel it with Illuminate Soul.
   If the effect comes from some permanent magic item, such as a cursed sword, Illuminate Soul does not remove the curse from the item, but it does free the victim from the item's effects.  For example, a cursed item can change the alignment of its user.  Illuminate Soul allows the victim to be rid of the item and negates the alignment change, but the item's curse is intact and affects the next creature to pick up the item--even if it's the recent recipient of the Illuminate Soul effect.




Illuminating Gaze
Brilliant Dawn (Incantation)
Level: Greater
Shaping Action: 1 standard action
Range: Personal
Target: You
Duration: 1 min./level (D)

You gain the ability to see all things as they actually are.  You can see through normal and magical darkness, notice secret doors hidden by magic, see the exact locations of creatures or objects under blur or displacement effects, see invisible creatures or objects normally, see through illusions, and see the true form of polymorphed, changed, or transmuted things.  The vision conferred by this incantation penetrates even solid objects, negating concealment, including that caused by fog and the like.  You automatically see through mundane disguises, spot creatures who are simply hiding, and notice secret doors hidden by mundane means.  You can still see things as ghostly outlines, so you can avoid walking into walls and otherwise function normally.
   While this vision lets you see through solid objects, it doesn't let you attack through them and does not negate cover.  Illuminating Gaze cannot be used through scrying effects.

Will of Stone
Crushing Stone (Incantation) [Earth]
Level: Least
Shaping Action: 1 standard action
Range: Touch
Target: Stone or stone object touched, up to 10 cu. ft. + 10 cu. ft./level
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No

You can form an existing piece of stone into any shape that suits your purpose.  While it's possible to make crude coffers, doors, and so forth with this incantation, fine detail isn't possible.  If you shape stone such that it would trap a creature, that creature can make a Reflex save to avoid being caught.




Speech of Stone
Crushing Stone (Incantation)
Level: Lesser
Shaping Action: 1 minute
Range: Personal
Target: You
Duration: 1 min./level

You gain the ability to speak with stones, which relate to you who or what has touched them as well as revealing what is covered or concealed behind or under them.  The stones relate complete descriptions if asked.  A stone's perspective, perception, and knowledge may prevent the stone from providing the details you are looking for.
   You can speak with natural or worked stone.




Whispers of Stone
Crushing Stone (Incantation)
Level: Greater
Shaping Action: 10 minutes
Range: Unlimited
Target: One creature or object
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: No
Spell Resistance: None

This incantation allows you to ask the world itself about the location of a creature or object.  Nothing short of a mind blank spell or the direct intervention of a deity keeps you from learning the exact location of a single individual or object.  Whispers of Stone circumvents normal means of protection from scrying or location.  The incantation reveals the name of the creature or object's location (place, name, business name, building name, or the like), community, county (or similar political division), country, continent, and the plane of existence where the target lies.
   To find a creature with this incantation, you must have seen the creature or have some item that once belonged to it.  To find an object, you must have touched it at least once.

Corrosive Fluid
Deteriorating Corrosion (Incantation) [Acid]
Level: Least
Shaping Action: 1 standard action
Range: 5 ft.
Area: Up to 1 cu.ft./level
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No

You transform a volume of water into an equal volume of acid, which deals damage to creatures that come into contact with it.  You cannot transform water inside a creature's body, but you can affect water surrounding it.  Water containing more than a trace of dissolved or suspended substances can't be affected with this incantation.
   You can fill a flask with acid produced in this way and throw it as a splash weapon that deals 1d6 points of acid damage on a direct hit and 1 point of acid damage from a splash (see page 128 of the Player's Handbook).
   Each round a creature is in contact with the acid, it takes 1d6 points of acid damage.  Underwater, the acid created by this incantation dissipates after 1 round/shaper level.
   The acid dissolves metallic objects it contacts.  It deals 1d6 points of damage per round and ignores the object's hardness.  A magic item makes a Fortitude saving throw each round for half damage.




Corrosive Touch
Deteriorating Corrosion (Incantation)
Level: Lesser
Shaping Action: 1 standard action
Range: Touch
Target: One nonmagical ferrous object (or the volume of the object within 3 ft. of the touched point)
Duration: See text
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No

Any iron or iron ally item you touch becomes instantaneously rusted, pitted, and worthless, effectively destroyed.  If the item is so large that it cannot fit within a 3-foot radius (a large iron door or a wall of iron), a 3-foot-radius volume of the metal is rusted and destroyed.  Magic items and creature made of metal are immune to the effects of this incantation.
   You may employ Corrosive Touch in combat with a successful melee touch attack.  Corrosive Touch used in this way instantaneously destroys 1d6 points of Armor Class gained from nonmagical metal armor (to the maximum amount of protection the armor offered) through corrosion.  For example, full plate armor (AC +8) could be reduced to +7 or as low as +2 in protection, depending on the die roll.
   Weapons in use by an opponent targeted by the incantation are more difficult to grasp.  You must succeed on a melee touch attack against the weapon.  A nonmagical metal weapon that is hit is destroyed.
   Note: Striking at an opponent's weapon provokes an attack of opportunity.  Also, you must touch the weapon and not the other way around.




Corrosive Passage
Deteriorating Corrosion (Incantation)
Level: Greater
Shaping Action: 1 standard action
Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Effect: One 5-ft.-by-5-ft. opening, 10 ft./level deep
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No

This incantation allows you to create a passage through wooden, plaster, stone, or metal, but not through harder materials.  If a wall or structure is thicker than 10 feet per shaper level, then a single Corrode Passage incantation simply makes a tunnel with the stated dimensions.  Several shapings of the Corrode Passage incantation cane be used to tunnel deep into the earth by forming a continuous passage.  Corrode Passage is an instantaneous effect that does not end and cannot be dispelled; any passage it creates is permanent.

Return the Voice
Devouring Shadow (Incantation) [Language-Dependent]
Level: Least
Shaping Action: 10 minutes
Range: 10 ft.
Target: One dead creature
Duration: 1 min./level
Saving Throw: Will negates; see text
Spell Resistance: No

You grant the semblance of life and intellect to a corpse, allowing it to answer several questions that you put to it.  You may ask one question per two shaper levels.  Unasked questions are wasted if the duration expires.  The corpse's knowledge is limited to what the creature knew during life, including the languages it spoke (if any).  Answers are usually brief, cryptic, or repetitive.  If the creature's alignment was different from yours, the corpse gets a Will save to resist the spell as if it were alive.
   If the corpse has been subject to Return the Voice or speak with dead within the past week, the incantation fails.  You can shape this incantation on a corpse that has been deceased for any amount of time, but the body must be mostly intact to be able to respond.  A damaged corpse may be able to give partial answers or partially correct answers, but it must at least have a mouth in order to speak at all.
   This incantation does not let you actually speak to the person (whose soul has departed).  It instead draws on the imprinted knowledge stored in the corpse.  The partially animated body retains the imprint of the soul that once inhabited it, and thus it can speak with all the knowledge that the creature had while alive.  The corpse, however, cannot learn new information.  Indeed, it can't even remember being questioned.
   This incantation has no effect on a corpse that has been turned into an undead creature.




Fleeting Return
Devouring Shadow (Incantation)
Level: Lesser
Shaping Action: 1 standard action
Range: Touch
Target: Dead ally touched
Duration: 1 min./level
Saving Throw: None; see text
Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless)

This incantation brings a dead ally temporarily back to life.  The subject can have been dead for up to 1 round per shaper level.  Your target functions as if a raise dead spell (see page 268 of the Player's Handbook) had been cast upon her, except that she does not lose a level and has half of her full normal hit points.  She is alive (not undead) for the duration of the incantation, but is harmed by positive energy and healed by negative energy.  The subject dies as soon as the incantation ends.  While under the effect of this incantation, the subject is not affected by spells or effects that raise the dead or create undead from corpses.




Rite of Return
Devouring Shadow (Incantation)
Level: Greater
Shaping Action: 10 minutes
Range: Personal
Target: You
Duration: 1 hour/level

This incantation allows you to establish the conditions whereby you will be brought back to life upon your death.  When you shape Rite of Return, you must state either a specific creature or a set of specific circumstances that you expect will be responsible for your death at some point within the incantation's duration.  If you name a creature, that creature does not have to deal the deathblow to trigger the release of the incantation, but it must play an active part in your demise.  If you name a set of circumstances, those circumstances must be reasonably specific or the incantation will fail, leaving you well and truly dead.  An acceptable set of circumstances would be, "I expect large quantities of cheese to play a pivotal role in my demise," whereas an unacceptable set would be, "I expect to die from loss of hit points."  The DM decides whether the terms are acceptable.
   Whether the subject of your demise is a specific person or a specific source, you must die (that is, reach -10 hit points or lower) for the incantation to take effect.  If you do, and the circumstances of your demise are similar enough to those described when you shaped the incantation (DM's discretion), you are resurrected (see page 272 of the Player's Handbook) one minute after your death, with no level loss.
   A Rite of Return that has not yet taken effect is still a magical effect (and a powerful necromantic one, at that), which can be dispelled by one who detects its presence.

Times Past
Eternal Moment (Incantation)
Level: Least
Shaping Action: 1 minute
Range: Touch
Target: Object touched
Duration: Concentration, up to 10 min./level (D)
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: Yes

You can learn details of an inanimate object's previous owner.  Objects and creatures leave behind trails in time, which can be read by use of this incantation.  The amount of information revealed depends on how long you study a particular object.
   1st Minute: Last owner's race.
   2nd Minute: Last owner's gender.
   3rd Minute: Last owner's age.
   4th Minute: Last owner's alignment.
   5th Minute: How last owner gained and lost the object.
   6th+ Minute: Next-to-last owner's race, and so on.
   The incantation always correctly identifies the last owner of the item, and the original owner (if you keep the incantation active long enough).
   There is a 90% chance that this incantation will successfully identify all other former owners in sequence, but there is a 10% chance that one former owner will be skipped and thus not identified.
   This incantation will not identify casual users as owners.  (Anyone who uses an object to attack someone or something is not thereafter considered a casual user.)
   An object without any previous owners reveals no information.  You can continue to run through a list of previous owners and learn details about them as long as the incantation's duration lasts.  If you use Times Past additional times on the same object, the information yielded is the same as if you were using the incantation on the object for the first time.




Times to Come
Eternal Moment (Incantation)
Level: Lesser
Shaping Action: 10 minutes
Range: Personal
Target: You
Duration: Instantaneous

This incantation can provide you with a useful piece of advice in reply to a question concerning a specific goal, event, or activity that is to occur within one week.  The advice can be as simple as a short phrase, or it might take the form of a cryptic rhyme or omen.
   The base chance for a correct glimpse of Times to Come is 70% + 1% per shaper level, to a maximum of 90%.  The DM adjusts the chance if unusual circumstances require it (if, for example, unusual precautions against divination effects have been taken).  If the dice roll fails, you know the incantation failed, unless specific magic yielding false information is at work.
   Multiple shapings of Times to Come about the same topic by the same spellshaper use the same dice result as the first shaping of the incantation and yield the same answer each time.




Times Forgotten
Eternal Moment (Incantation)
Level: Greater
Shaping Action: 10 minutes
Range: 1 mile
Area: 1-mile-radius emanation centered on you
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No

You can see and hear into the past, getting a look at events that happened previously at your current location.  The level of detail you see and hear by means of this incantation depends on the span of time you wish to observe; concentrating on a span of days renders a more detailed perspective than a span of centuries, for example.  You can view only one span of time per shaping, chosen from the following options.
   Days: You sense the events of the past, stretching back one day per shaper level.  You gain detailed knowledge of the people, conversations, and events that transpired.
   Weeks: You gain a summary of the events of the past, stretching back one week per shaper level.  Exact wording and details are lost, but you know all the participants and the highlights of the conversations and events that took place.
   Years: You gain a general idea of the events of the past, stretching back one year per shaper level.  You notice only noteworthy events such as deaths, battles, scenes of great emotion, important discoveries, and significant happenings.
   Centuries: You gain a general idea of the events of the past, stretching back one century plus an additional century for every four shaper levels beyond 1st.  For instance, a 16th-level shaper would gain insight into the events of four centuries in the past, and a 17th-level shaper would see back across five centuries.  You notice only the most remarkable of events: coronations, deaths of important personages, major battles, and other truly historic happenings.

False Visage
Fleeting Image (Incantation)
Level: Least
Shaping Action: 1 standard action
Range: Personal
Target: You
Duration: 1 hour/level (D)
Saving Throw: None or Will negates; see text
Spell Resistance: No

You make yourself--including clothing, armor, weapons, and equipment--look different.  You can seem 1 foot shorter or taller, thin, fat, or in between.  You cannot change your body type.  For example, a human shaper could look human, humanoid, or like any other human-shaped bipedal creature.  Otherwise, the extent of the apparent change is up to you.  You could add or obscure a minor feature, such as a mole or a beard, or look like an entirely different creature.
   The incantation does not provide the abilities or mannerisms of the chosen form, nor does it alter the perceived tactile (touch) or audible (sound) properties of you or your equipment.  A battleaxe made to look like a dagger still functions as a battleaxe.
   If you use this incantation to create a disguise, you get a +10 bonus on the Disguise check.  You must succeed on a Disguise check to duplicate the appearance of a specific individual.
   This is an illusion (glamer) effect.  A creature that interacts with the glamer gets a Will save to recognize it as an illusion.  For example, a creature that touched you and realized that the tactile sensation did not match the visual one would be entitled to such a save.
   In addition, this incantation misdirects the information from divination spells and effects that reveal auras (detect evil, detect magic, discern lies, and the like).  On shaping the incantation, you choose another creature or object within range.  For the duration of the incantation, you are detected as if you were that other object or creature.  (Neither you nor the other creature or object gets a saving throw against this effect.)  Detection spells and effects provide information based on the second creature or object rather than you unless the caster of the detection succeeds on a Will save.  For example, you could make yourself detect as a tree if one were within range at casting: not evil, not lying, not magical, neutral in alignment, and so forth.  This incantation does not affect other types of divination magic (augury, detect thoughts, clairaudience/clairvoyance, and the like).




False Image
Fleeting Image (Incantation)
Level: Lesser
Shaping Action: 1 standard action
Range: Long (400 ft. + 40 ft./level)
Effect: Visual figment that cannot extend beyond four 10-ft. cubes + one 10-ft. cube/level (S)
Duration: 1 min./level
Saving Throw: Will disbelief (if interacted with)
Spell Resistance: No

This incantation creates the visual illusion of an object, creature, or force, as visualized by you.  The figment includes visual, auditory, olfactory, and thermal elements, including intelligible speech.  While you are within range of the illusion, you can move it within the limits of the range by concentrating.
   The image disappears when struck by an opponent unless you cause the illusion to react appropriately.  If the illusion leaves the incantation's range, it doesn't disappear.  Instead, the image remains where it was left, static and inert.
   This incantation is an illusion (figment) effect.




False Path
Fleeting Image (Incantation)
Level: Greater
Shaping Action: 10 minutes
Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level)
Area: 1-mile radius + 1 mile/level
Duration: 1 hour/level
Saving Throw: Will disbelief (if interacted with)
Spell Resistance: Yes

This incantation simultaneously hides a path or road specified by you, while simultaneously creating an illusory path.  The illusory path starts at a point chosen by you within the range of the incantation.  It continues in the direction you indicate, to the limit of the incantation's area, where it ends abruptly.  The illusory path avoids obstacles and provides no bridges, stairs, ladders, ramps, or other means of traversing such obstacles.  There is no way to force the False Path to lead over a cliff or across a river more than 4 feet deep.
   Those who fail their Will saves struggle along the illusory path.  If vegetation or rough terrain slows their progress, they believe the path is sloping enough to justify the reduced speed.  Those who succeed on their Will saves see both paths, but the illusory path is shadowy and obviously unreal.
   This incantation is an illusion (glamer) effect.

Observe Minds
Glimmering Moon (Incantation) [Mind-Affecting]
Level: Least
Shaping Action: 1 standard action
Range: 60 ft.
Area: Cone-shaped emanation
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 min./level (D)
Saving Throw: Will negates; see text
Spell Resistance: No

You detect surface thoughts.  The amount of information revealed depends on how long you study a particular area or subject.
   1st Round: Presence or absence of thoughts (from conscious creatures with Intelligence scores of 1 or higher).
   2nd Round: Number of thinking minds and the Intelligence score of each.  If the highest Intelligence is 26 or higher (and at least 10 points higher than your own Intelligence score), you are stunned for 1 round and the incantation ends.  This incantation does not let you determine the location of the thinking minds if you can't see the creatures whose thoughts you are detecting.
   3rd Round: Surface thoughts of any mind in the area.  A target's Will save prevents you from reading its thoughts, and you must shape Observe Minds again to have another chance.  Creatures of animal intelligence (Int 1 or 2) have simple, instinctual thoughts that you can pick up.
   Each round, you can turn to detect thoughts in a new area.  The incantation can penetrate barriers, but 1 foot of stone, 1 inch of common metal, a thin sheet of lead, or 3 feet of wood or dirt blocks it.




Invade Mind
Glimmering Moon (Incantation) [Mind-Affecting]
Level: Lesser
Shaping Action: 1 round; see text
Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Target: One living creature
Duration: Permanent
Saving Throw: Will negates
Spell Resistance: Yes

You reach into the subject's mind and modify as many as 5 minutes of its memories in one of the following ways.

• Eliminate all memory of an event the subject actually experienced.  This incantation cannot negate charm, geas/quest, suggestion, or similar spells or effects.
• Allow the subject to recall with perfect clarity an event it actually experienced.  For instance, it could recall every word from a 5-minute conversation or every detail from a passage in a book.
• Change the details of an event the subject actually experienced.
• Implant a memory of an event the subject never actually experienced.

Shaping the incantation takes 1 round.  If the subject fails to save, you proceed with the incantation by spending as much as 5 minutes (a period of time equal to the amount of memory time you want to modify) visualizing the memory you wish to modify in the subject.  If your concentration is disturbed before the visualization is complete, or if the subject is ever beyond the incantation's range during this time, the incantation fails.
   A modified memory does not necessarily affect the subject's actions, particularly if it contradicts the creature's normal inclinations.  An illogical modified memory, such as the subject recalling how much it enjoyed drinking poison, is dismissed by the creature as a bad dream or a memory muddied by too much wine.  More useful applications of Invade Mind include implanting memories of friendly encounters with you (inclining the subject to act favorably toward you), changing the details of orders given to the subject by a superior, or causing the subject to forget that it ever saw you or your party.  The DM reserves the right to decide whether a modified memory is too nonsensical to significantly affect the subject.




Fortify Mind
Glimmering Moon (Incantation)
Level: Greater
Shaping Action: 1 standard action
Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Target: One creature
Duration: 24 hours
Saving Throw: Will negates (harmless)
Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless)

The subject is protected from all devices, spells, and effects that detect or read emotions or thoughts.  This incantation protects against all information gathering by divination spells or effects.  Fortify Mind even foils limited wish, miracle, and wish spells when they are used in such a way as to gain information about the subject.  In the case of scrying that scans an area the creature is in, such as arcane eye, the spell works but the creature simply isn't detected.  Scrying attempts that are targeted specifically at the subject do not work at all.

Wild Tongue
Natural Balance (Incantation)
Level: Least
Shaping Action: 1 standard action
Range: Personal
Target: You
Duration: 1 min./level

You can comprehend and communicate with animals.  You are able to ask questions of and receive answers from animals, although the incantation doesn't make them any more friendly or cooperative than normal.  Furthermore, wary and cunning animals are likely to be terse and evasive, while the more stupid ones make inane comments.  If an animal is friendly toward you, it may do some favor or service for you.




Whispering Wilds
Natural Balance (Incantation)
Level: Lesser
Shaping Action: 10 minutes
Range: Personal
Target: You
Duration: Instantaneous

You become one with nature, attaining knowledge of the surrounding territory.  You instantly gain knowledge of as many as three facts from among the following subjects: the ground or terrain, plants, minerals, bodies of water, people, general animal population, presence of woodland creatures, presence of powerful unnatural creatures, or even the general state of the natural setting.  For example, you could determine the location of any powerful undead creatures, the location of all major sources of safe drinking water, and the location of any buildings (which register as blind spots).
   In outdoor settings, the incantation operates in a radius of 1 mile per shaper level.  In natural underground settings--caves, caverns, and the like--the radius is limited to 100 feet per shaper level.  The incantation does not function where nature has been replaced by construction or settlement, such as in dungeons and towns.




Wild Servant
Natural Balance (Incantation)
Level: Greater
Shaping Action: 10 minutes
Range: 1 mile/level
Effect: One wooden duplicate
Duration: 1 hour/level (D)
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No

You draw forth a humanoid figure from the wood of a tree that is at least one size category larger than yourself.  The figure is your size and clearly made of wood, but it resembles you sufficiently that anyone who knows you can recognize your features in its face.  The figure emerges from a tree that you touch.  Thereafter, if you and the Wild Servant separate by more than the maximum range of the incantation, it vanishes instantly and the incantation ends.
   A Wild Servant mimics your actions, including speech, unless you direct it to act differently as a move action.  You can see through its eyes and hear through its ears as if you were standing in its location, and you can switch from using its senses to using your own, or back again, as a free action.  While you are using its senses, your own body is considered blinded and deafened.
   If you desire, any spellshape attack you make or formula you shape can originate from the Wild Servant instead of from you.  It cannot, however, shape any formulae on itself.  Spellshape attacks made and formulae shaped through the Wild Servant function normally in all respects except for the point of origin.
   A Wild Servant has a number of hit points equal to your character level.  If you use it to attack physically, you take a -4 penalty on attack rolls, and it deals damage equal to your unarmed damage.
   As a standard action, you can change places with your Wild Servant.  This usage is a [Teleportation] effect.  Making use of this option reduces the remaining duration of the incantation by 5 hours.  If you have fewer than 5 hours of duration left, you cannot invoke this ability.

Sudden Frost
Perfect Freeze (Incantation) [Cold]
Level: Least
Shaping Action: 1 standard action
Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Area: 10 ft. square/level
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No

All earth, stone, and water in the incantation's area is drained of heat.  Earth, mud, and stone become everfrost and water freezes.  You affect a 10-foot-square area to a depth of 1 foot.  Magical, enchanted, dressed, or worked stone cannot be affected.  Earth, stone, or water creatures are not affected.
   This incantation can be used to create small icebergs in large bodies of water.  These icebergs float, but are extremely slippery and unstable, requiring a DC 15 Balance check per round to stay on the iceberg.  Icebergs may be propelled through the water by the current, paddling, or other means.




Frostcrafting
Perfect Freeze (Incantation) [Cold]
Level: Lesser
Shaping Action: 1 standard action
Range: Personal
Effect: One object of up to 10 lb./level
Duration: 1 hour/level
Saving Throw: None (harmless)
Spell Resistance: No

You conjure into being a block of transparent ice in the shape of any object you have seen at least once before, up to the weight limit (to a maximum of 200 pounds at 20th level).  Any object with moving parts does not function (for example, a crossbow).  You must succeed on an appropriate Craft check to make a complex item.




Descending Frost
Perfect Freeze (Incantation) [Cold]
Level: Greater
Shaping Action: 10 minutes; see text
Range: 3 miles
Area: 3-mile-radius circle, centered on you; see text
Duration: 4d12 hours
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No

You change the weather to a state of winter, or strengthen winter conditions already present.  It takes 10 minutes to shape the incantation and an additional 10 minutes for the effects to manifest themselves.  The current, natural weather conditions are determined by the DM.  You then choose what wintry conditions you want to manifest; the strength of the winter depends on the existing climate and season of the area.

Season		Possible Weather
Spring		Frequent snowfall, nightly frost
Summer		Light snow, hailstorms, cold rain, cloudy
Autumn		Frequent snowfall, frost
Winter		Frigid cold, blizzard, and constant snowfall

Daily wind and snowfall during a Descending Frost are determined using the table below.  Add +8 to the roll when cast during winter, +4 in spring or autumn, -2 in summer, +2 for a cold climate, -2 for temperate climate, and -6 for hot climate.  Roll separately for wind and snow.  The snow and wind shown are the maximum possible for the day; at your option, there can be less wind or snow.

d20 Roll		Amount of Snowfall		Amount of Wind
0 or less		1d12 inches of snowfall melt		Weak (0-10 mph)
1-5		No new snow		Weak (0-10 mph)
6-10		1d4-1 inches snow		Moderate (11+ mph)
11-15		1d8 inches snow or 1 inch hail		Moderate (11+ mph)
16-20		1d12 inches snow		Strong (21+ mph)
21-25		2d12+4 inches snow		Strong (21+ mph)
26+		1d6+1 inches snow		Very strong (31+ mph)

You control the general tendencies of the weather, such as the direction and intensity of the wind.  When you select a certain weather condition to occur, the weather assumes that condition 10 minutes later (changing gradually, not abruptly).  The weather continues as you left it for the duration, or until you use a standard action to designate a new kind of weather (which fully manifests itself 10 minutes later).

Wave Step
Roaring Tide (Incantation) [Water]
Level: Least
Shaping Action: 1 standard action
Range: Touch
Targets: One creature touched/level
Duration: 10 min./level (D)
Saving Throw: Will negates (harmless)
Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless)

The subject creatures can tread on any liquid as if it were firm ground.  Mud, oil, snow, quicksand, running water, ice, and even lava can be traversed easily, since the subjects' feet hover an inch or two above the surface.  (Creatures crossing molten lava still take damage from the heat because they are near it.)  The subjects can walk, run, charge, or otherwise move across the surface as if it were normal ground.
   If this incantation is shaped underwater (or while the subjects are partially or wholly submerged in whatever liquid they are in), the subjects are borne toward the surface at 60 feet per round until they can stand on it.




Wave Shape
Roaring Tide (Incantation) [Water]
Level: Lesser
Shaping Action: 1 standard action
Range: See text
Area/Target: See text
Duration: 10 min./level (D)
Saving Throw: None; see text
Spell Resistance: No

Depending on the version that you choose to shape, this incantation raises water, lowers water, or propels a wave across a body of water.

   Lower Water: This causes water or similar liquid to reduce its depth by as much as 2 feet per shaper level (to a minimum depth of 1 inch).  The water is lowered within a squarish depression whose sides are up to shaper level x 10 feet long.  In extremely large and deep bodies of water, such as a deep ocean, the incantation creates a whirlpool that sweeps ships and similar craft downward, putting them at risk and rendering them unable to leave by normal movement for the duration of the incantation.
   This version of this incantation has a range of Long (400 ft. + 40 ft./level) and affects water in a volume of 10 ft./level by 10 ft./level by 2 ft./level.  This area is shapeable.  In addition, you may reduce one horizontal dimension by half and double the other horizontal dimension.

   Raise Water: This causes water or similar liquid to rise in height, just as the lower water version causes it to lower.  Boats raised in this way slide down the sides of the hump that the incantation creates.  If the area affected by the incantation includes riverbanks, a beach, or other land nearby, the water can spill over onto dry land.
   This version of this incantation has a range of Long (400 ft. + 40 ft./level) and affects water in a volume of 10 ft./level by 10 ft./level by 2 ft./level.  This area is shapeable.  In addition, you may reduce one horizontal dimension by half and double the other horizontal dimension.

   Propel Wave: This causes water to lift a creature or object and propel it forward.  An object so lifted can contain creatures or other objects.  The maximum size of the creature or object the wave can lift depends on your shaper level.

Shaper Level		Size of Creature or Object
7th		Large
9th		Huge
11th		Gargantuan
13th		Colossal

   This version of this incantation moves the lifted creature or object in a straight line at a speed of 60 feet over water.  The incantation dissipates when the wave contacts land, lowering its burden harmlessly to shore.  If you are riding in or standing on the object, the object continues to move until you are no longer in or on the object or the incantation is dismissed; otherwise, the object is moved to the extent of the incantation's range when you shape the incantation.
   This version of the incantation has a range of Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) and affects waves under a creature or object within range.  An unwilling creature or object that would be carried off by this version of the incantation can attempt a Reflex save to avoid the wave.




Wave Sight
Roaring Tide (Incantation)
Level: Greater
Shaping Action: 1 standard action
Range: See text
Effect: Magical sensor
Duration: 1 hour/level
Saving Throw: Will negates
Spell Resistance: Yes

You can see and hear some creature, which may be at any distance.  If the subject succeeds on a Will save, the scrying attempt simply fails.  The difficulty of the save depends on how well you know the subject and what sort of physical connection (if any) you have to that creature.  Furthermore, if the subject is on another plane, it gets a +5 bonus to its Will save.

Knowledge		Will Save Modifier
None1		+10
Secondhand (you have heard of the subject)		+5
Firsthand (you have met the subject)		+0
Familiar (you know the subject well)		-5

^1.  You must have some sort of connection to a creature you have no knowledge of.

Connection		Will Save Modifier
Likeness or picture		-2
Possession or garment		-4
Body part, lock of hair, bit of nail, etc.		-10

   If the save fails, you can see and hear the subject and the subject's immediate surroundings (approximately 10 feet in all directions of the subject).  If the subject moves, the sensor follows at a speed of up to 150 feet.
   The sensor has your full visual acuity, including any magical effects.  In addition, spells and effects like detect chaos, detect evil, detect good, detect law, detect magic, message, read magic, and tongues function reliably through the sensor.
   If the save succeeds, you can't attempt to scry on that subject again for at least 24 hours.
   In order to use this incantation, you must have access to a natural pool of water, which functions as a focus component.  This incantation is a divination (scrying) effect.

Modulate Tone
Screeching Roc (Incantation) [Sonic]
Level: Least
Shaping Action: 1 standard action
Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level)
Target: One sound or mixture of related sounds
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 min./level; see text
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No

You shape and alter existing sounds.  You can target one sound, such as a person speaking or singing, or a group of related sounds, such as the patter of many raindrops or the tramp of soldiers passing by.  A sound as quiet as a snapping finger can be controlled.  You can substitute any sound you have heard for the target sound.  For instance, you could replace the sound of a dragon's snoring with the sound of a trickling waterfall.  You could change the words of a speaker into inarticulate babbling or into other words entirely (though a speaker generally comes to a halt quickly when he realizes that every word coming out of his mouth is unintended).  If you attempt to exactly duplicate the voice of a specific individual, or an inherently terrifying sound (such as a dragon's roar), you must succeed on a Bluff check with a +5 circumstance bonus opposed by the intended listener's Sense Motive check to avoid arousing suspicion.
   You can entirely muffle a noise or magnify a sound to such loudness that it drowns out all other conversation in the immediate area.  In this way, you can provide yourself or any with a +4 circumstance bonus on Move Silently and Listen checks.
   Alternatively, you can use up the incantation in an instant.  You do this by modulating a sound into a one-time destructive impetus that shatters nonmagical, unattended objects of crystal, glass, ceramics, or porcelain (vials, bottles, flasks, jugs, mirrors, and so forth) in the area.




Tone of Comprehension
Screeching Roc (Incantation)
Level: Lesser
Shaping Action: 1 standard action
Range: Touch
Target: Creature touched
Duration: 10 min./level
Saving Throw: Will negates (harmless)
Spell Resistance: No

This incantation grants the creature touched the ability to speak and understand the language of any intelligent creature, whether it is a racial tongue or a regional dialect.  The subject can speak only one language at a time, although it may be able to understand several languages.  Tone of Comprehension does not enable the subject to speak with creatures who don't speak.  The subject can also make itself understood as far as its voice carries.  This incantation does not predispose any creature addressed toward the subject in any way.




Tone of Command
Screeching Roc (Incantation) [Language-Dependent, Mind-Affecting]
Level: Greater
Shaping Action: 1 standard action
Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level)
Targets: One creature/level, no two of which can be more than 30 ft. apart.
Duration: 1 hour/level or until completed
Saving Throw: Will negates
Spell Resistance: Yes

You influence the actions of the target creatures by suggesting a course of activity (limited to a sentence or two).  The same suggestion applies to all these creatures.  The suggestion must be worded in such a manner as to make the activity sound reasonable.  Asking the creature to stab itself, throw itself onto a spear, immolate itself, or do some other obviously harmful act automatically negates the effect of the incantation.  However, a suggestion that a pool of acid is actually pure water and that a quick dip would be refreshing is another matter.  Urging a group of bandits to stop attacking your party so that the bandits and party could jointly loot a rich treasure elsewhere is likewise a reasonable use of Tone of Command.
   The suggested course of activity can continue for the entire duration, such as in the case of the bandits mentioned above.  If the suggested activity can be completed in a shorter time, the incantation ends when the subjects finish what they were asked to do.  You can instead specify conditions that will trigger a special activity during the duration.  For example, you might suggest that a noble knight give her warhorse to the first beggar she meets.  If the condition is not met before the incantation's duration expires, the activity is not performed.
   A very reasonable suggestion causes the save to be made with a penalty (such as -1 or -2) at the discretion of the DM.

Command Flame
Searing Flame (Incantation) [Fire]
Level: Least
Shaping Action: 1 standard action
Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level)
Target: One nonmagical fire source; see text
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 min./level; see text
Saving Throw: See text
Spell Resistance: No

You magically control the intensity or movements of one fire source.  A nonmagical fire source can be controlled if it is equal to or smaller than the maximum size of fire you can control according to your shaper level, as noted on the accompanying table.  You can freely switch control between fire sources, or change the nature of your control, while you maintain concentration, but only one specified change (lighting a fire, maintaining it, animating it, or altering its size) can be made to one fire source in a round.  When your control over a fire source lapses, that fire immediately returns to its original state (or goes out if it has no fuel or has been moved away from its original location).

   Lighting a Fire: This incantation can be used to make a combustible object burst into nonmagical fire, even if it is damp.  Only unattended objects can be ignited in this way, and you can only ignite a combustible object that weighs no more than 25 pounds per shaper level.  An object lit on fire in this way burns until it is consumed or someone puts out the fire.
   You immediately gain control of a fire that you light in this way, as if you had used the incantation on a preexisting fire.  This incantation can only be used to light a fire once per round.

   Maintaining a Fire: With this incantation, you can artificially keep a fire burning that would normally expire for lack of fuel; even dousing a controlled flame with water does not put it out (though completely submerging the flame would).  Normally, a creature at risk of catching on fire can avoid this fate by making a DC 15 Reflex saving throw, with success indicating that the fire has gone out.  If the fire is one that has been kept burning by the use of this incantation, then the DC of the Reflex save needed to put out the flames increases to 25.

   Animating a Fire: This incantation also enables you to make a fire move as if it were a living creature.  You can animate only a naturally burning fire; if you attempt to animate one that has been increased or decreased in size by your use of this incantation, the fire immediately returns to its original size.  An animated fire moves at a speed of 30 feet.  A fire that moves away from its fuel or its original location dies as soon as your control over it lapses.
   An animated fire can enter any square, even if a creature already occupies it.  If an animated fire enters a square occupied by a creature, that creature can make a Reflex save to get out of the way (DC 11 + the number of dice of damage the fire does + your spellshaping ability modifier).  A successful Reflex save moves the creature to the nearest unoccupied square.  The flames deal the indicated damage to any creature that is either on fire or surrounded by the flames (in the fire's space); see the accompanying table.
   An animated fire sets fire to any combustibles in a space it occupies or passes through.  In addition, at the start of your turn, the animated fire deals damage to any creature in its space, and the creature catches on fire unless it makes a Reflex save (DC as noted above).  A creature on fire takes 1d6 points of fire damage each round.  Additional rounds in the same space as the animated fire occupies mean additional chances of ignition.  It is possible to switch control from the animated fire (causing it to disappear) to intensify flames that are already burning (thus increasing the difficulty of Reflex saves made to extinguish the fire).

   Altering a Fire's Size: With this incantation, you can increase or decrease the size of a fire you control by one step, up to the maximum size of fire you can control according to your shaper level.  You can also choose to reduce a Tiny or smaller fire to nothing, extinguishing it.  You can only alter a fire's size by one step each round.

Shaper Level		Fire Size		Example		Damage per Round		Space
1st-2nd		Fine		Tindertwig		1		1/2 ft.
3rd-4th		Diminutive		Torch		1d3		1 ft.
5th-6th		Tiny		Small campfire		1d6		2-1/2 ft.
7th-8th		Small		Large campfire		2d6		5 ft.
9th-10th		Medium		Forge		3d6		5 ft.
11th-12th		Large		Bonfire		4d6		10 ft.
13th-14th		Huge		Burning shack		5d6		15 ft.
15th-16th		Gargantuan		Burning tavern		6d6		20 ft.
17th or higher		Colossal		Burning inn		7d6		30 ft.

Eye of Flame
Searing Flame (Incantation) [Fire]
Level: Lesser
Shaping Action: 10 minutes
Range: Unlimited
Effect: Magical sensor
Duration: 10 min./level (D)
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No

You create a small floating sphere of flame that sends you visual information.  You can create the Eye of Flame at any point you can see, but it can then travel outside your line of sight without hindrance.  An Eye of Flame travels at 30 feet per round (300 feet per minute) if viewing an area ahead as a human would (primarily looking at the floor) or 10 feet per round (100 feet per minute) if examining the ceiling and walls as well as the floor ahead.  You can switch back and forth between your own eyes and the viewpoint of the Eye of Flame as a free action.
   An Eye of Flame has the same powers of sensory acuity that you possess.  This level of acuity includes any spells or effects that target you, but not spells or effects that emanate from you.  The eye is treated as a separate, independent sensory organ of yours, and thus it functions normally even if you have been blinded or otherwise suffered sensory impairment.  An Eye of Flame can see through normal smoke, fire, and fog as if they weren't there.
   The eye can travel in any direction as long as the incantation lasts.  Solid barriers block its passage, but it can pass through a hole or space as small as 1 inch in diameter.  The eye can't enter another plane of existence, even through a gate or similar magic portal.
   You must concentrate to use an Eye of Flame.  If you do not concentrate, the eye is inert until you again concentrate.
   An Eye of Flame ignites flammable substances it touches and illuminates the same area as a torch would.  The eye is visible, but not corporeal.  Though an Eye of Flame is not subject to damaging effects, it can be dispelled normally.
   This incantation is a divination (scrying) effect.




Flamewalking
Searing Flame (Incantation) [Teleportation]
Level: Greater
Shaping Action: 1 standard action
Range: Unlimited
Target: You and touched objects or other touched willing creatures
Duration: 1 round
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No

You can enter any normal fire (Medium or larger) and pass any distance to any other fire of Medium or larger size in a single round, regardless of the distance separating the two.  The destination fire need not be in a place familiar to you. If you are uncertain of the location of a particular destination fire, you need merely designate direction and distance and the incantation moves you as close as possible to the desired location. If a particular destination fire is desired but the fire has been extinguished or it is not a viable destination (see below), the incantation fails and you are ejected from the entry fire.
   If a fire's location doesn't offer enough space for you (for example, a fire contained inside a furnace to small to hold you or a fire already occupied by a big cauldron), it is not a viable destination and the incantation will not send you to that location.  If a fire rests on a surface that can't support you, it is still a viable destination and you suffer the appropriate consequences if the incantation transports you to it.  For example, if the closest viable destination fire is burning it a pit full of oil, you fall into the oil when you arrive there.  This incantation provides no protection against fire, so it is advisable to obtain such protection before using the incantation.
   You can bring along objects as long as their weight doesn’t exceed your maximum load. You may also bring one additional willing Medium or smaller creature (carrying gear or objects up to its maximum load) or its equivalent per three shaper levels. Use the following equivalents to determine the maximum number of larger creatures you can bring along: A Large creature counts as two Medium creatures, a Huge creature counts as two Large creatures, and so forth. All creatures to be transported must be in contact with one another, and at least one of those creatures must be in contact with you.
   Fire elementals and other fire creatures are not considered "fires" for the purpose of this incantation, nor are sources of great heat, such as pools of lava.
   The extinguishing of an occupied fire slays you and any creatures you have brought along, and ejects the bodies and all carried objects from the fire.

Storm Runner
Shocking Current (Incantation)
Level: Least
Shaping Action: 10 minutes
Range: 0 feet
Effect: One quasi-real, horselike creature
Duration: 1 hour/level (D)
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No

You conjure a Large, quasi-real, horselike creature made of roiling clouds and flashing lightning.  The steed can be ridden only by you or by the one person for whom you specifically created the mount.  A storm runner has eyes that flash like lightning and a body of dark, roiling clouds, in which occasional arcs of electricity can be seen.  Its hooves are insubstantial and make no sound.  The steed have what seems to be a saddle, bit, and bridle.  It does not fight, but animals shun it and refuse to attack it.
   The mount has an AC of 18 (-1 size, +4 natural armor, +5 Dex) and 7 hit points +1 hit point per shaper level.  If it loses all its hit points, the storm runner disappears.  A storm runner has a speed of 20 feet per shaper level, to a maximum of 240 feet.  It can bear its rider's weight plus up to 10 pounds per shaper level.
   A storm runner gains certain powers according to its creator's shaper level.  The mount's abilities include those of storm runners of lower shaper levels.  Thus, a mount created by a 12th-level shaper has the 8th, 10th, and 12th shaper level abilities.
   8th Level: The mount can ride over sandy, muddy, or even swampy ground without difficulty or decrease in speed.
   10th Level: The mount can use water walk at will (as the spell, no action required to activate this ability).
   12th Level: The mount can use air walk at will (as the spell, no action required to activate this ability) for up to 1 round at a time, after which it falls to the ground.
   14th Level: The mount can fly at its speed (average maneuverability).




Freedom of the Storm
Shocking Current (Incantation)
Level: Lesser
Shaping Action: 1 standard action
Range: Personal or touch
Target: You or creature touched
Duration: 10 min./level
Saving Throw: Will negates (harmless)
Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless)

This incantation enables you or a creature you touch to move and attack normally for the duration of the incantation, even under the influence of effects that normally impair movement, such as paralysis, solid fog, slow, and web.  The subject also automatically succeeds on any grapple check made to resist a grapple attempt, as well as on grapple checks or Escape Artists checks made to escape a grapple or a pin.  Similarly, the subject automatically succeeds on Escape Artist checks made to escape from ropes, manacles, and tight spaces.
   The incantation also allows the subject to move and attack normally while underwater, even with slashing weapons such as axes and swords or with bludgeoning weapons such as flails, hammers, and maces, provided that the weapon is wielded in the hand rather than hurled.  The Freedom of the Storm incantation does not, however, allow water breathing.




Storm Jaunt
Shocking Current (Incantation) [Teleportation]
Level: Greater
Shaping Action: 10 minutes; see text
Range: Personal and touch; see text
Targets: You and up to one other creature for every two levels
Duration: Instantaneous; see text
Saving Throw: None and Will negates (object)
Spell Resistance: No and Yes (object)

You change the weather in the local area to a raging thunderstorm, then travel through lightning to a designated destination, which can be any distance away.  You need not have seen the destination, but in that case you must have at least a reliable description of the place to which you are teleporting.  If you attempt to teleport with insufficient information (or with misleading information), you disappear and simply reappar in your original location.  Interplanar travel is not possible.
   You can bring along objects as long as their weight doesn't exceed your maximum load.  You may also bring one additional willing Medium or smaller creature (carrying gear or objects up to its maximum load) or its equivalent (see below) per two shaper levels.  A Large creature counts as two Medium creatures, a Huge creature counts as two Large creatures, and so forth.  All creatures to be transported must be in contact with one another, and at least one of those creatures must be in contact with you.
   It takes 10 minutes to shape the incantation and an additional 10 minutes for the storm to form.  The storm takes effect in a 2-mile-radius circle, centered on you.  Once the storm has formed, it suddenly intensifies in the area where the incantation was shaped, obscuring sight of those affected with a strike of lightning.  On the next round, the disturbance disappears and the characters affected by the incantation are gone.  Over the following 10 minutes, the storm created by the incantation dissipates (though stormy conditions persist if they were present before the incantation was shaped).
   Though the targets of the incantation disappear instantaneously once the storm forms, they do not immediately appear at the incantation's destination.  Instead, 10 minutes elapse during which a thunderstorm quickly develops in a 2-mile-radius circle, centered on the target location.  This is plainly not a natural occurrence to anyone who witnesses it, unless there is already a storm in progress.
   Then, an intensification of this storm obscures sight at the target location, and the targets of the incantation reappear in a second strike of lightning.  The targets always appear in some place that is open to the storm--thus, they can appear on the upper parapets of a castle, but not inside the castle.  After the targets of the incantation arrive at their destination, the storm that facilitated their arrival dissipates over the following 10 minutes (though stormy conditions persist if they were present before the incantation was shaped).
   Though 10 minutes have passed since they disappeared, it appears to the travelers as though the transport was instantaneous.  Additionally, for the 10 minutes while the targets are gone, they are treated as though they were in another plane.

Kinetic Hand
Unseen Impetus (Incantation)
Level: Least
Shaping Action: 1 standard action
Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level)
Target: One object or creature weighing up to 40 lb.
Duration: Concentration
Saving Throw: Will negates
Spell Resistance: Yes

A Kinetic Hand incantation can lift an object and move it at will from a distance.  As a move action, you can propel the target up to 20 feet in any direction, although the incantation ends if the distance between you and the subject ever exceeds the incantation's range.
   A creature can negate the effect against an object it possesses with a successful Will save or if you fail to overcome its spell resistance.
   An object can be telekinetically manipulated as if with one hand.  For example, a lever or rope can be pulled, a key can be turned, an object rotated, and so on, if the force required is within the weight limitation.  The incantation has an effective Strength of 10.




Kinetic Inversion
Unseen Impetus (Incantation)
Level: Lesser
Shaping Action: 1 standard action
Range: Touch
Target: Creature touched
Duration: 1 min./level
Saving Throw: Will negates (harmless)
Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless)

The subject of this incantation can travel on any solid surface as though that surface possessed its own gravity.  For example, the subject could walk or even run up a wall as though the wall were a perfectly level floor.  The subject can switch "down" as often as it likes during the incantation's duration, though only once per round, as a free action.  Unattended objects fall, as normal.
   The subject of Kinetic Inversion can fly by choosing a solid surface and letting itself fall through the air toward it.  A character "flying" in this fashion moves at 30 feet per round and can make one turn, in any direction, once per round, by redefining its personal gravity.  A creature falling in this fashion loses all "downward" momentum when it changes its gravity.




Kinetic Globe
Unseen Impetus (Incantation) [Force]
Level: Greater
Shaping Action: 1 standard action
Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Effect: 1-ft.-diameter/level sphere, centered around creatures or objects
Duration: 10 min./level (D)
Saving Throw: Reflex negates
Spell Resistance: No

A globe of shimmering force encloses a group of creatures or objects, provided they are small enough to fit within the diameter of the sphere.  The globe contains its contents for the incantation's duration.  The globe is not subject to damage of any sort, except from a rod of cancellation, a rod of negation, a disintegrate spell, or a targeted dispel magic effect.  These effects destroy the globe without harm to its contents.  Nothing can pass through the sphere, inside or out, though creatures inside of it can breathe normally.  The contents of the globe are protected against all attacks, including purely mental ones, from sources outside the sphere (though creatures inside the globe can attack each other normally).
   In addition, the creatures or objects inside the globe are nearly weightless.  Anything contained within a kinetic globe weighs only one-sixteenth of its normal weight.  You can telekinetically lift anything in the globe that normally weighs 5,000 pounds or less.  The telekinetic control extends from you out to medium range (100 feet + 10 feet per shaper level) after the globe has succeeded in encapsulating its contents.
   You can move objects or creatures in the globe that weigh a total of 5,000 pounds or less by concentrating on the globe.  You can begin moving a globe in the round after shaping the incantation.  If you concentrate on doing so (a standard action), you can move the globe as much as 30 feet in a round.  If you cease concentrating, the globe does not move in that round (if on a level surface) or descends at its falling rate (if aloft) until it reaches a level surface, the incantation's duration expires, or you begin concentrating again.  If you cease concentrating (voluntarily or due to failing a Concentration check), you can resume concentrating on your next turn or any later turn during the incantation's duration.
   The globe falls at a rate of only 60 feet per round, which is not fast enough to cause damage to its contents.  You can move the globe telekinetically even if you are in it.  Note that, even if more than 5,000 pounds of weight is englobed, the perceived weight is only one-sixteenth of the actual weight, so the globe can be rolled without exceptional effort.
